    Hi,

    Last week, after transmitting several times on a Kenwood TR-7950
    connected to my KPC-3 Plus and my (practically brand new) computer, my
    Red Hat Linux installation simply froze and crashed on me. The hard
    drive developed all sorts of never before seen (to me at least!) bad
    blocks and inode issues which e2fsck couldn't cure. I was left realizing
    I had no choice but to reinstall Red Hat 8. I was getting issues like
    the 'diff' program suddenly becoming a symlink pointing at 'cut'.

    Although an friend of mine thinks it is not possible, I'm wondering if
    transmitting with this model of Kenwood (which is about 20 years old, I
    would say) only about 1 foot from my computer and 3 feet from the
    antenna, caused the system to crash? Perhaps the antenna is simply too
    close to the computer? It is an MFJ mag-mount antenna. I didn't do very
    much transmitting at all, I was trying to connect to a friend's packet
    radio rig about 10 miles away on 145.010 and according to him we were
    connected only once and it timed out.

    73,
